This presentation has two parts: In the first part I look into Development, effect of technology on development, obviously technology provides opportunity to have choices but Can Technology (here ICT) influence development? Digital inclusion is a concept about the disparities in terms of citizens’ participation in the Information Society. This participation may be conceptualised in the first instance as ICT access, levels of use and use patterns. On one hand we have technology which promises of New Dawn for the developing countries, on the other hand only access to technology will not provide development for poor millions of a developing country, it is about usefulness of that access. Hence in second part of the presentation I look into the issue of digital inclusion ,where and how can ICT help the rural citizens of India? What are the problems associated with the implementation of ICT in Rural India? The focus is on the use of ICT for development, particularly for development in Rural India. In the hands of imaginative and inspired individuals, organizations and communities technology can change people’s lives.
